Summary
The main components of water soluble metabolites prepared by incubation of oestradiol- -17β with rat liver homogenates, NADPH and oxygen were shown to be S-(2,3,17β-trihydroxy-1,3,5(10)-oestratrien-1-yl)-glutathione and S-(2,3,17β-trihydroxy-1,3,5(10)-oestratrien-4-yl)-glutathione. The structures were proven by comparison with synthetic substances, the 1-H-and the 4-H-isomeres of which were differenciated by nmr spectra.
The activity of the liver homogenates in transforming oestradiol-17β to glutathione conjugates was increased by application of phenobarbital to femal rats. The biological significance of the glutathione conjugates of 2,3-dihydroxy-oestratriens is discussed.
